Abstract: Some demonstrative embodiments include devices, systems and/or methods of selectively aborting reception of wireless communication packets. For example, a receiver may at least partially process a portion of a wireless communication packet, to determine based on the portion of the communication packet whether the packet is intended to be received by the receiver and, if the packet is not intended to be received by the receiver, to abort processing of a remainder of the communication packet by one or more components of a physical layer of the receiver. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

Abstract: Device, system, and method of power management. In some demonstrative embodiments, a device may include a wireless communication unit to transmit to a control point of a wireless area network an information request frame identifying at least one other wireless communication device in the wireless area network, wherein the wireless communication unit is to receive from the control point a response including wakeup information defining a wakeup schedule including at least one wakeup period of the other wireless communication device, and wherein, based on the wakeup information, the wireless communication unit is to transmit a wireless transmission directly to the other wireless communication device during the wakeup period. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

Abstract: Device, system, and method of scanning a wireless communication frequency band. Some embodiments may include scanning a set of channels of a wireless communication frequency band to detect a wireless area network, the scanning including setting a scanning duration to a duration of a beacon interval, scanning a channel of the set of channels for the scanning duration, if a packet is detected over the channel, monitoring the channel for up to a predefined time period, which is longer than the scanning duration, to receive a beacon frame; if no beacon frame is received over the channel, scanning another channel of the set of channels for the scanning duration; and if, after scanning all channels of the set of channels, no beacon frame is received, increasing the scanning duration and repeating the scanning using the increased scanning duration. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

Abstract: Techniques for packet-loss handling for downlink Multi-User Multiple-input and Multiple-Output (DL MU-MIMO) wireless networking environment are described herein. The techniques described herein help define how a wireless access point should behave when faced with a packet-loss situation of a DL transmission burst in a MU-MIMO wireless network.

Other embodiments are described and claimed.

Abstract: Device, system, and method of scanning a wireless communication frequency band. In some embodiments, a device may include a wireless communication unit to scan a first wireless communication frequency band and, upon detecting at least one access point communicating over the first wireless communication frequency band, to receive from the detected access point information identifying one or more channels of a second wireless communication frequency band, different from the first wireless communication frequency band, and to scan the identified channels to detect wireless area network communications of at least one wireless area network. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

Abstract: Embodiment and methods and means for scheduling an access point (AP) traffic destined for multiple stations (STAs) in a downlink multiple-user multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) network transmission are provided.

Abstract: Apparatuses, systems, methods, and computer program products to save power in peer-to-peer communication devices associated with wireless communication networks are disclosed. Embodiments generally comprise wireless communications devices. A device may associate or connect with an access point and communicate with another device also connected to the access point. The devices may establish a direct link as part of a tunneled direct link system (TDLS) network. After establishing the direct link, the devices may negotiate a wakeup schedule, enabling both devices to enter power saving modes to conserve power. The devices may maintain the direct link while in power saving modes, enabling the devices to periodically exit the power saving modes and transfer buffered data.
